    Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty
    With a great story, memorable characters and outstanding cutscenes the single player campaign easily overcomes most of its very few shortcomings. And the multiplayer mode is exactly what we've come to expect from Blizzard: it is fast, unforgiving and a hell of a lot of fun.

    Alan Wake II
    Remedy has done it again: Alan Wake 2 looks absolutely stunning, has one of the most crazy storys in gaming history and makes overall everything better than the prequel. The gameplay and the locations are showing so much variety and the charakters are incredible interesting. Only a few bugs and one very annoying bossfight destroying the high score.

    Total War: WARHAMMER II
    There’s always something happening, constantly I have to decide, consider and proceed tactically – and sometimes even accept devastating defeat. A healthy mix of challenge, tension and reward is what makes a great game – Total War: Warhammer 2 is such a game.

    Total War: Three Kingdoms
    The setting in China is a bit strange for us Europeans, but the game as such is with its new mechanics the best in the series.

    Xenoblade Chronicles 3
    Xenoblade Chronicles 3 combines aspects from the previous games and features a lot of details without excluding people who haven’t played them yet. Aside from the mediocre graphics and some other issues it’s one of the best JRPGs available for Nintendo Switch.

    Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition
    Age of Empires 2 was one of the best RTS games 20 years ago and with the Definitive Edition it reclaims this status once again. Outstanding updated graphics and several reasonable quality of life improvements on top of the ageless gameplay and an insane amount of content result in a game that no old or young RTS fan should miss.

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps
    An outstanding sequel that merges a heartfelt story, stunning visuals, challenging gameplay and glorious music into what is already one of the best games of the year.

    Bayonetta 3
    Platinum Games‘ return to form manages to deliver one of the most action-packed and over the top games of recent memory. Bayonetta's demon slaves enrich the already deep combat even further and are both fun to watch and control. Sure, the story is as convoluted and uninteresting as ever, not all of the game‘s many mechanics and set-pieces are as polished as the combat and the Switch‘s aging hardware doesn’t do the graphics any favors. But if you like your action games fast, fluid and completely bonkers, this is a tour de force that packs enough punch and content to be worth the asking price.

    Silly microtransactions, but fantastic gameplay - a must-have for every NBA-fan.

    Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
    Dragon Quest 7 is a very well-done remake of a game that is over 25 years old. Most of the problems of the original PS1 game have been solved, but the balance between text and combat is still uneven.

    SteamWorld Heist II
    New setting, old strengths: Steamworld Heist 2 is bigger and better than its predecessor. The innovations are manageable, but they pay off: This thing is just fun!

    Weird West
    Weird West is a mix between Red Dead Redemption and Desperados. The five episodes of the game are telling a brilliant story and it’s amazing, how every choice you make, has consequences for the outcome. The dynamic world of the West makes the game to one of the best RPGs of the year.

    Yakuza: Like a Dragon
    An utterly charming yarn about friendship and kindness that breathes gritty modern life into the quaint JRPG format of classic Dragon Quest.

    Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
    Miles Morales offers the same excellent gameplay as its predecessor with a shorter campaign, richer side missions and some fun new abilities. While it's more of a standalone expansion rather than a full-fledged sequel, the charming cast of characters and a well done coming of age story make it a must-play for fans of the first game. With the PC port, developer Nixxes Software has once again done a great job. Support for ultra-wide monitors, multiple upscaling technologies, smooth performance and a wide array of options - there's not much more you could wish for in a PC conversion.

    F1 2021
    F1 2021 is a great racing game with a lot of content, but also with a few weak spots. The AI could behave more realistically. Also, the damage model is still too weak, although it has been improved. If you enjoyed F1 2020 or any of Codemasters' other recent F1 games, are a motorsport fan or want to immerse yourself in the world of Formula 1, F1 2021 is the perfect opportunity to lose yourself in the virtual top class of motorsport for countless hours.

    The Alters
    As a survival game, The Alters poses surprisingly hart questions. It forces players to make difficult decisions that test their morals and ethics. With its deep story and the far-reaching consequences, it could be the most innovative game of the year.

    Celeste
    Along with its charming 2D retro look and awesome soundtrack the game cast a spell on me with its authentic characters.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder
    The few flaws that the game undoubtedly has are annoying. Apart from them, though, Super Mario Bros Wonder is 2D platforming fun close to perfection.

    Helldivers can also show off all its strengths on the Xbox - that's how it should be.

    Final Fantasy XVI
    Great action role-playing game with an exciting storyline, epic moments, fast-paced combat and a dark setting that is light on RPG elements.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
    For me, Black Ops 4 is the best Call of Duty in years. I must also say that the single player campaign I haven't missed a minute. The three successful online modes are clearly more important to me than a bombastic, but very short single player fun.

    Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered
    Spider-Man is one of the best superhero games of all time with some of the best and most satisfying movement-systems ever seen in an open world title. While most of the side stuff consists of your typical Ubisoft-style fetch-quests, this movement makes even those enjoyable. Throw on a very fluid and enjoyable combat system along with a well paced story and you've got yourself a game that hasn't lost much of its luster since releasing in 2018. The new PC post is very solid with a wide array of options, impressive raytracing and support for three different upscaling systems, enabling good performance across many configurations. The only downside is having to pay full price for it, although if you've never played Spider-Man, the PC version is worth the asking price.

    Rocket League
    A fresh new take on football, Rocket League serves both as a fast and fun diversion as well as a deep and complex multiplayer experience to really sink your teeth into.

    Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
    Dragon Ball: Sparking ZERO! continues exactly what Budokai Tenkaichi 3 established back then and has become a real highlight.

    Starfield
    Starfield delivers an exciting new universe with terrific design, fun quests and interesting characters, capturing almost everything whe love about Bethesda RPGs. It's big and ambitious and often times beautiful, but certainly not perfect: Space travel becomes a bit of a chore after a while, combat between Starships feels undercooked and exploring the huge amount of planets is way less rewarding than we hoped. But if you play it mostly like a Fallout 3 in space and don't expect a fully-fledged space simluator, you are in for a treat.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops
    Black Ops is quite a pleasant surprise: On the one hand former second class developer Treyarch reaches the Infinity Ward's standard of gameplay quality and inventiveness for the first time. On the other hand Treyarch manages to set a course of their own through the unusual story and a ton of tributes to other masterpieces of action, be it movie or game. Plus Activision conceded the time and resources to Treyarch to aspire a really great game. And that's something you'll notice immediately. You'll recognize the passion and the effort that went into making this new episode. Black Ops delivers Call of Duty gaming at its best as well as a distinctly individual approach to the whole scenario. Infinity Ward will have to put their shoulders to the wheel to outplay Black Ops with the next CoD.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
    Call of Duty has lost its magic. Modern Warfare 3 is miles away from the epic campaign missions of the franchise. The new open combat missions are boring and we are missing the scripted action sequences of the prequels. After only four hours the story is completed, even for a Call of Duty that’s short. We still have the feeling, this game should be a DLC and not a sequel of MW2. [Campaign Review Score = 40]

    Norland
    Cute to look at, motivating and complex: Norland may not be perfect yet, but it has enormous strategic potential. If Long Jault irons out a few weaknesses, Norland could become a real hit candidate. [Early Access Score = 70]

    Hitman - Intro Pack
    In the first release of the episodic Hitman-game you got access to the prologue and the first story mission. The sandbox-design of the levels is great and offers tons of variations how to fulfill your contracts – just like in Blood Money. In addition you can play the live events (escalation, contracts, illusive targets). Though there are just two locations available within the first release, it can be very repetitive after some time. Gameplay is well done, but technical issues like glitches, minor bugs and performance drops can be frustrating.
